WHEN JESUS BECOMES YOUR KING KNOWING JESUS IS DIFFERENT FROM MAKING HIM KING OVER YOUR LIFE. Religiosity is not the answer to your problem. It adds to your problem. In fact, it is your number one (1) problem. You are in a religion, until you find the kingdom. Ikaw ba ay pinaghaharian ng Dios? o Si Cristo ang number one ba sa buhay mo? o Ibinigay mo ba ang best para sa kanya? o inaalay mo ba sa kanya ang iyong buong puso, isipan, lakas, at kaluluwa? Ikaw ba ay pinaghaharian ng Dios? o Si Cristo ba ang naghahari sa iyong emosyon? Sa iyong bibig? o Si Cristo ba ang naghahari sa iyong relasyon? o Mahal mo ba sya higit sa asawa at pamilya mo o sa lahat ng mga taong mahal mo? Ikaw ba ay pinaghaharian ng Dios? o Mahal mo ba sya higit sa trabaho mo? o Mahal mo ba sya higit sa mga bagay sa mundong ito? o Handa ka bang masaktan para kay Jesus? Ikaw ba ay pinaghaharian ng Dios? o Handa ka bang magsakripisyo para kay Jesus? o Handa ka bang lumayo sa kasalanan para sundin sya? Matthew 10:37-38 • 37 “Ang umiibig sa kanyang ama o ina nang higit sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. Ang umiibig sa kanyang anak nang higit sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. 38 Ang hindi nagpapasan ng kanyang krus at hindi sumusunod sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. Ikaw ba ay relihiyoso? Matthew 15:8 ‘‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Ang taong Maka-relihiyon • Nakakilala sa Dios pero hindi lumalayo sa kasalanan. Nagpapakasasa. • Malapit ang bibig sa Dios, ngunit malayo ang kanyang puso. • Hindi hari si Cristo sa buhay nya. • Pinaghaharian sa turo ng relihiyon –Maka-relihiyon –Hindi nagbabasa nang Biblia. –Nakikipag-away sa relihiyon ARE YOU RELIGIOUS? Life is short. Make it shorter. THE CHURCH IS NOT A RELIGION. IT IS A GROUP OF BELIEVERS OF CHRIST. A GOVERNING BODY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH. GOD’S PLAN WAS TO BUILD A NATION OF GOD THROUGH HIS GOVERNING BODY [CHURCH] HERE ON EARTH. THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD IS KINGDOM-CENTERED NOT RELIGION-CENTERED. – THE BRINGER OF KINGDOM INFLUENCE HERE ON EARTH. Matthew 6:33 Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all of these things shall be added unto you. WHAT IS A KINGDOM? • A kingdom is a governing influence of a king over a territory impacting it with His will, His intent, and His purpose producing a citizenry of people reflecting the character of the King, His morals, and lifestyle. LIFE IS SHORT. DEATH IS CERTAIN. SIN IS THE CAUSE. CHRIST THE CURE. Jesus was preoccupied with the kingdom not by religion. GOD GAVE KEYS Matthew 16:18-19 • [18] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. [19] I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. " Mateo 16:18-19 18 At sinasabi ko sa iyo, ikaw ay Pedro,[a] at sa ibabaw ng batong[b] ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesya at ang kapangyarihan ng kamatayan ay hindi magtatagumpay laban sa kanya. 19 Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga susi ng kaharian ng langit. Ang ipagbawal mo sa lupa ay ipagbabawal sa langit, at ang ipahintulot mo sa lupa ay pahihintulot din sa langit.” • ANG Mark MGA 12:29-30 SUSI NG KAHARIAN NG DIYOS AY ANG KANYANG MGA SALITA. THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE 31 Sinabi naman ni Jesus sa mga Judiong naniniwala sa kanya, “Kung patuloy kayong susunod sa aking turo, kayo nga'y tunay na mga alagad ko. 32 Makikilala ninyo ang katotohanan, at ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa inyo.” Ang Sikreto ni King David • Psalms 119:11 • I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Mga Susi
The keys Peter received for
the church are the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven not keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven does not need keys • Peter is not the doorkeeper or a security guard in heaven. Revelations 21:25 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. Every problem has a solution. LOCK IS MADE WITH A KEY EXAMS ARE MADE WITH ANSWER KEYS PROBLEM IS MADE WITH A SOLUTION 1 Corinto 10:13 13 Wala pang pagsubok na dumating sa inyo na hindi nararanasan ng ibang tao. Tapat ang Diyos, at hindi niya ipapahintulot na kayo'y subukin nang higit sa inyong makakaya. Sa halip, pagdating ng pagsubok, bibigyan niya kayo ng lakas upang makayanan ito at ng paraan upang malampasan ito. In the Kingdom, Certain things You must Understand: • Commandments need to be obeyed. • Rules need to be followed. • Promises need to be claimed. • Rights, authority, and power need to be used. • Privileges need to be availed. • Authority and power need to be acknowledged. A problem remains a problem until you discover the solution for it. KEY PRINCIPLE: You cannot have it until you discover it. How can you discover if you do not believe? How can you believe if you do not have faith? How can you have faith if you haven’t heard it? God has sent His messengers [His mouthpiece] for you to be able to follow His ways. Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path God always has something for you, a key for every problem, a light for every shadow, a relief for every sorrow, and a plan for every tomorrow. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!! BENEDICTION
